The Garden Strawberry came into being of the crossbreeding between two American types of strawberries. The Fragaria chiloensis (Chile-Strawberry) and Fragaria virginiana (from the Northern part of America) are the parents of the Garden Strawberry.

The jam and jelly manufacturer Stauds was founded in the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire

The company is still in its original home, in the same traditional Viennese market neighbourhood where Hans Staud´s great-grandfather began doing business.

Knowledge, intuition and a love of true simplicity have been passed on from grandfather to grandson, and father to son.

Each generation has taken pride in its inventiveness and originality – and in an attitude to business that harks back to a time when a handshake was sufficient to seal a contract.
